Healthy Memphis

Free dental checks for those age 5 through 15 will be offered in two Memphis locations beginning July 1.

 The Memphis & Shelby County Health Department's School Based Dental Program staff will provide dental examinations and protective sealants to guard against cavities. Services will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis weekdays in July. The clinic will be closed July 4. Appointments aren't necessary.

The July clinics are set for Latino Memphis, 2838 Hickory Hill, and Southside Boys & Girls Club, 677 Richmond. There will be Spanish-language translators at the Hickory Hill clinic.

 Young people must either be accompanied by a parent or guardian or bring a signed parental consent form. The necessary forms will be available at the clinics.
